One of the films to win a National Award this year is The Secret Life of Frogs, directed by brothers Vijay and Ajay Bedi. And you might not know this, but Mumbai is one of the only cities in the world to have a species of frog named after it.

Of all the species found in the Western Ghats, fungoid frogs are the most colourful. They are medium-sized and found mainly in rice paddies. Here, they perform the important function of keeping the population of harmful bugs and insects in check.
